Barry injury, Wisconsin will enter next season with four tailbacks with experience (Montee Ball, James White, Jeff Lewis & Melvin Gordon).

Montee ball rushed for 1,923 yards and 33 touchdowns last season.  White rushed for 713 yards last season, but he also gained 1,052 yards in his freshman year. 

Gordon averaged 4.9 yards per carry in four games before sitting out the remainder of last season with a groin injury.  Lewis played in seven games and averaged 5.7 yards per carry. 

The Badgers will likely give their new dual running back formations a look in the annual spring game later this month, although Bret Bielema said the number of touches Montee Ball gets in live tackling will be limited.
